Finding the limits is always good. Exceeding them is not so good
They are now on the third generation of Haldex controller, power is only sent to the rear wheels when the fronts lose traction. I guess it gives better economy but it is no substitute for a proper Quattro system.

I think if I ever did exceed the limits it would be disastrous for me! The car is so well planted it is unreal.
